Vouchers are bad. ESA’s are bad. Arizona has about a $1 billion hole blasted through their budget for them and whew, if a public school wasted this money there’d be hell to pay:

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

When I heard this, I drafted a skeet about it, then thought "naaah, there's no way his speechwriters would allow him to contradict himself within one sentence." But they really and truly did.

Public school administrators- superintendents, principals, directors, are told not to post pictures on vacations or situations where it looks bad ethically in order to avoid the scrutiny of public dollars paying their salaries and how it can be perceived. Guess that doesn’t apply to the FBI

Surrounding himself with terrible people, and terrible corn? I shouldn’t be surprised. If this squatty person is seeing over top of your tasseled corn, you need to find a better seed corn dealer. Maybe because I grew up in Iowa and know good corn should tower over top of this boy

I know nobody watches local tv anymore, except to maybe catch the weather or news. But back in the day they had some ear worms in their ads. Every once in a while one gets triggered- if you lived in NW Iowa, Beano & Sherry’s Casino was a banger.

Pate puts on a clown nose when he’s made a bad pick. I know his “fox hole” boys are supporting him, but this isn’t the hill. This is a bad call. Ignoring all the bad and saying it’s “just football” just looks naive and ignorant. Unfollowed, unsubscribed, all of them.

I think kids growing up in the Trump era should be told clearly that they are being raised under a regime that espouses white supremacy as if it is a legitimate politics, the same as any other.

@netw3rk.bsky.social listening to Xray Vision as a precursor to the next Dunk & Egg Chronicles, and Zack from Game of Owns sounds too much like George Clooney that I had to double check to make sure he wasn’t a guest. Great pod!

trump spent $40M ($133k per person) deporting 300 migrants to countries that aren't their homes, sometimes paying twice when they returned them to their actual countries anyway. That same money could've funded comprehensive veteran services, medical care and disability support nationwide. #Resist

Did a thing today. Offered testimony in opposition of LB765, the bill that would require a 50.1% voter turnout for school bonds in order to be valid. Counting online and in person testimony, it was 15 in support…59 in opposition. Hope they were listening.

When the Muppets are featured I happily flash back to the incredible jingle of my childhood, where they were selling a double Muppet Movie set: You get the Muppet Movie, and the Great Muppet Caper too And you can get a free watch, YES we said get a free watch… The song jumps in my brain every time

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Teachers. They want to what - jail teachers? - if they don’t rat out their students that they think are undocumented? If they don’t tear families apart by snitching on a student’s dad? They want to get teachers to send their own kids to measles junction in Texas?
